U.P.S.E.B. & Anr vs Sant Kabir Sahakari Katai Mills Ltd

The Supreme Court held that the Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board is an authority under Article 12 of the Constitution of India, and disputes involving it and public sector undertakings should be resolved through a committee as indicated in ONGC-I. The Court upheld the High Court's direction that power supply to the writ petitioners, who are co-operative societies, should not be discontinued despite the Board's claims regarding compliance with the Electricity Act. The judgment emphasized the need for adherence to contractual obligations while considering statutory regulations under Section 22-B of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910.
